Description
Celo is transitioning from a standalone EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain to a Layer 2 powered by the OP Stack. After an eight-month evaluation, the OP Stack was chosen for Celo's migration due to its quick deployment capabilities, strong alignment with Ethereum's ecosystem, and support for positive-sum growth.
